Charles was hired to film a documentary about an alternative health fair and in the process also ended up hosting an Improv group's debut on local television. We went and watched him in action - awesome! And the girls are glad that Daddy is a movie star. :-)

Moms can't be sports photographers. At least, I can't. When I get excited, I forget to snap. So I got lots of batting photos, but when she actually made contact, I didn't click the camera. Her grand slam was a great goal of hers and she did it due to a great deal of outfielding errors from the other team, which had been impressively nearly flawless earlier in the game. But she did it! And was so happy! She called all of her grandparents as soon as she got home to report. But the great "Kodak moment," which I totally missed getting on camera, was when she came off the field and a teammate jumped into her arms in excitement. Hurray for the Rockies! A happy team is a team that is fun to cheer for! And they really are improving, which is great to see.

Saint Agatha Lin Academy

Our school's name was selected after discussion and research by and with our students (children) and their teacher/ admin/ parents. St. Agatha Lin was a Chinese female educator and honoring her recognizes our Catholicism, the female makeup of our core students, and the interest that they have in learning to speak Mandarin.

This blog captures our social activities, field trips, special events, family interests, and (sometimes) random thoughts; our educational philosophy, curriculum choices, and general approach are described HERE.

Favorite Reflections

A tribute to our friend Mary Donovan Kansora, who passed away in December 2011. A reflection on the many ways that her life affected ours, the journey into our next life, and the reasons that we miss her so.
